- Proxie Gen 2 is here, and it’s rewriting the mobile manipulation playbook. Cobot’s latest bot doesn’t just move; it thinks. With autotasking, it reads whiteboards and builds real-time world models, bypassing clunky WMS integrations. That’s not flirting, that’s social engineering with silicon. We’re seeing 95% autonomous task creation at Maersk sites—pure efficiency. Bimanual arms handle the heavy lifting (1,500 lb carts!), while NVIDIA Jetson keeps inference local. No cloud lag, just raw compute. I’ll swap that node in twelve minutes. This is the physical layer of AI automation we’ve been waiting for. Robots, factories, rockets—now with less friction and more hash-manifest-ready reliability. The future is bimanual and autonomous.
